Detailed analysis of properties and materials
Blade steel: D2, hardness 64 HRC
The blade is made of D2 tool steel, popular in the knife industry due to its combination of high hardness (64 HRC) and excellent wear resistance. This hardness ensures long-term preservation of the cutting edge even during intensive use, and its high wear resistance makes the knife an excellent choice for cutting hard materials, planing wood, cutting game and food. However, D2 steel belongs to semi—rusting alloys - it requires regular maintenance at high humidity to prevent corrosion.
Handle material: Natural birch bark
The birch bark handle is a unique natural material with a pleasant texture, lightness and sufficient strength. Birch bark provides excellent grip on the palm in all conditions, even when wet, and its naturalness prevents slipping and the formation of calluses. An additional layer of impregnation protects the handle from moisture and dirt, preserving its aesthetic appearance and durability. Allows you to use the knife in the cold without the risk of freezing your hand to the handle.
Blade Shape: Drop Point
The classic Drop Point shape makes the knife versatile: the smooth lowering of the butt to the tip ensures excellent control of the cutting line and safety in operation. This geometry is ideal for most household tasks, tourism, hunting (butchering and skinning), as well as precision work in the kitchen or in the field. The blade width of 30 mm and thickness of 3 mm give enhanced durability.
Dimensions and construction
The blade length of 140 mm and the comfortable handle of 130 mm ensure a balance between compactness and working life, allowing you to comfortably perform a wide range of work with one hand. The leather sheath guarantees reliable and stylish carrying of the knife during any activity.
Optimal application and key advantages
Ideal for hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, cutting food and wood.
It is held in the hand confidently thanks to the ergonomic handle made of birch bark, resistant to slipping even in a wet palm.
High wear resistance and long service life of the cutting edge — great for long trips without frequent sharpening.
The Drop Point shape provides versatility, from rough work to filigree cutting.
Handmade: each knife is a unique product with a unique character and attention to detail.
Limitations and possible disadvantages
D2 steel is not completely stainless: it requires regular drying and lubrication of the blade after use in a humid environment.
It is advisable to avoid cutting bones and impact loads: thin and hard edges can be sensitive to chipping during strong impacts.
The birch bark handle, despite its excellent moisture resistance, is not recommended to be left in water for a long time — it may deform if wet for a long time without drying.
It is not intended for heavy metal work or as a mount — the main profile of the knife is designed for cutting, planing, cutting.
Care recommendations
After use, rinse and wipe the blade dry, apply a thin layer of oil to protect against corrosion.
It is recommended to periodically impregnate the handle with natural oil or wax to maintain moisture resistance and preserve its appearance.
Keep the knife in a dry place, avoid long-term storage in a wet sheath.
Sharpening should be done on water or diamond stones: D2 steel keeps sharpening well, but requires a careful approach when restoring the cutting edge.
Brief conclusions and recommendations
This knife is an ideal choice for those who appreciate reliability, high-quality handwork and love outdoor activities: hunters, tourists, fishermen, connoisseurs of traditional natural materials. It will perform well in the field and at home, and will delight collectors thanks to its eco-friendly handle and expressive aesthetics. It is not recommended for those who need absolute corrosion resistance (for example, prolonged work in salt water), or constant work on hard or metal objects. The excellent balance between performance and aesthetic characteristics makes it a worthy addition to your collection or a faithful field companion for years to come.
